Graduate Studies

As the Associate Dean of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies here at California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), I would like to personally welcome you to our Graduate Studies webpages.  Graduate Studies supports and provides numerous services and resources to prospective, current, and past graduate students at CSUB.  These resources include (but are certainly not limited to) the graduate student center (GSC), graduate advising, biannual graduate orientation, annual graduate summit, annual grad slam (3MT) competition, free workshops, graduate lounge, computer lab, laptop checkout, poster printing, semester-by-semester GSC newsletter, graduate panel discussions, application support, Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program, California Pre-Doctoral Program, other graduate events, and much more.  With over 20 graduate programs (including Doctoral, Master's, second Bachelor's, post Baccalaureate, and Credential programs), 19+ credentials, 6+ professional certificates, 3+ academic certificates, 2,000+ current graduate students, and 12,000+ graduate alum, our graduate programs are continually growing (and notably, we plan to add 8 more graduate programs in the near future).   Again, I invite you to browse our Graduate Studies webpages and access the numerous resources we have to offer our graduate students.  Finally, please consider joining us in our mission to serve and support prospective, current, and past CSUB graduate students by donating to Graduate Studies.  Please know your generous donations (no matter how large or small) have a direct positive impact on our graduate students. 

As always, please do not hesitate to contact Graduate Studies should you have any questions or concerns.  

Sincerely,

Dr. Denver J. Fowler
